22-24 MAY 2025

EADV Symposium scientific programme

The EADV Scientific Programming Committee has prepared a captivating and inspiring 3-day agenda that caters to the expectations of both young dermatologists-venereologists and seasoned professionals.

The specially curated programme promises an intimate experience with renowned speakers across 28 sessions

Session types

Sessions of different formats will cover the most important topics in dermatology and venereology. Subjects will be treated with different approaches and from different perspectives depending on the type and structure of the session.

The Plenary lectures are EADV show-case sessions and include key-note lectures delivered by eminent scientists and doctors.

These sessions will enable participants to update their knowledge on a specific topic and hear about the most relevant and recent developments, guidelines and practical knowledge from the past year. The talks will summarize the current understanding of the subject, followed by an update on the most recent novelties with their impact on clinical practice.

These sessions aim at providing comprehensive in-depth coverage of a certain topic in dermatology. The talks will be included in sessions on pathophysiology / epidemiology, clinical challenges, or practical aspects of disease management and will provide the latest cutting-edge information.

These lectures focus on a specific disease and include basic information about epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, management and prognosis. The target audience of these sessions is young dermatology trainees and residents, as well as dermatologists that want to refresh their basic knowledge on specific topics. The topic of each presentation should be developed from clinical cases and include clinical photographs. The main objective is to provide the audience clues for differential diagnosis and disease management in their daily practice. Each presentation is supposed to be interactive, with multiple-choice question made to the audience in accordance with the subjects treated in the talks. Each speaker will be asked to include 2-3 questions by “data” along with the different answers’ options.

Authors of the most highly-ranked abstracts assessed by a selected panel of abstract reviewers are invited to a provide a 10-minute oral presentation.

Definition

According to the European Union Directive 2001/83 /EC (and amended version 2010/84/EU), the promotion of prescription only medicines should be directed solely at Healthcare Professionals or any person who is authorised to prescribe or handle them.

As a multidisciplinary audience will be attending the EADV Symposium, the delegates must  indicate if they are Healthcare Professionals (HCP) or Non-Healthcare Professionals (Non-HCP) to ensure compliance with these regulations.

Access to the different areas and sessions of the Symposium depends on the status as Healthcare Professional or as Non-Healthcare Professional. 

The Pharmaceutical Research Based Industry Malta Association (2014) defines HCP as:

Any member of the medical, dental, pharmacy or nursing professions or any other person who in the course of his or her professional activities may prescribe, purchase, supply or administer a medicinal product. “

Industry sessions and advertising

Sections of the code also relevant to a congress held in Malta:

Any such promotional material (excluding promotional aids) is accompanied by a suitable statement indicating countries in which the product is registered and makes clear that the product or use is not registered locally, and any such promotional material which refers to the prescribing information (indications, warnings etc.) authorized in a country or countries where the medicinal product is registered should be accompanied by an explanatory statement indicating that registration conditions differ internationally.

Satellite Symposia presenting data on the development, research or other issues related to prescription medicine can be restricted to Healthcare Professionals and Industry Participants only upon indication provided by the Industry Session Organizer. All promotional materials and marketing aids related to these industry sessions should be strictly limited to HCPs only.

Industry Session organisers could limit participation to certain representative groups independently from the EADV recommendations if deemed imperative to the achievement of the intended purpose of the Industry session. The organising company reserves the right to refuse single categories, in particular if not adequately related to the objective and purpose of the session.
